Autumn leaves in the garden of Ithilien


These earrings are the first in a series of pieces inspired by Peter Jackson's amazing Lord of the Rings movie series. The garden of Ithilen, lying along the border of Mordor, is a place in which the natural beauties of the gardens of Gondor and the old Elvish kingdoms, are left in dim reflection. Like the final leaves sifting from trees before winter frost, the garden of Ithilien is depicted in a kind of grieved, autumnal state, waiting for the evil that blights Middle Earth to be vanquished.

These earrings can be found at the Candy Store.
